the 'time out' record is a stone cold classic, i usually listen to this while smoking a good cigar, it chills me right out and makes me smile like a crazy cool jazz cat!!!

One of the greats.

A very 'cool' period for jazz, also seeing 'Kind of Blue' by Miles Davis. Perhaps the coolest notes in all of music's history.

Such a fantastic musician. Often listen to a "greatest hits" album of his work when driving at night.

Big loss to the music world.

I bought Take Five back in the day, classic, I think it was the only track on the album Time Out that was not written by Dave Brubeck, written by the sax player
